Different geographic areas have different symbols—images that on their own represent the emotional, and maybe even the spiritual essence of the place it represents, both to its inhabitants, and to the world at large.
For my country, Canada, it’s the maple leaf. Although there are maple trees in so many different locations throughout North America, the maple tree and its distinctive leaf are special here, north of the 49th parallel. And while it means many different things to individual Canadians, you can be certain that to each of us there is an almost visceral connection to the image of it, when it appears before us.
Of course, symbols aren’t just nation-wide. Sometimes they’re province wide or—in the case of my neighbors to the South, state-wide. For Nova Scotia, for example, the symbol most often associated with that Atlantic province is a picture of the light house at Peggy’s Cove; for Alberta it’s Banff National Park, with Lake Louise prominent; for Ontario, it’s the C. N. Tower in Toronto.
This isn’t only, as I’ve already pointed out, a Canadian phenomenon. In the United States, geographic areas have their symbols as well. Of course the first image Americans hold dear is their flag. Americans have a stronger emotional connection with the Stars and Stripes than we Canadians do with our own flag. That’s completely understandable since the red and white Maple Leaf has only been our flag since 1965.
There’s the Liberty Bell, the image of which makes us think of Pennsylvania. I’ve spoken to Pennsylvanians who have a distinctive emotional, pride-filled reaction to seeing that symbol. Other areas as well have their “symbols” – pictures that once seen, stir the heart and the spirit and engender pride and love. For Michigan it’s the Great Lake that bears its name; for California it’s the Golden Gate bridge; and for Texas? Texas has two great symbols as is befitting that state—The Alamo, and a container of Blue Bell ice cream.
April 20th of this year was a dark day for my Texan friends. You see, on that day Blue Bell announced a recall of all of its products, and that production of its ice cream had been suspended due to a Listeria outbreak. This total recall is the final stage in a process that began last month with a limited recall, the very first one in the family-owned business’s 108 year history.
Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly, and any whose immune system is weak. According to the Center for Disease Control, in the United States an estimated 1,600 people become seriously ill with Listeria each year, and about 16% of these become fatalities.
Clearly, a total recall until the source of the contamination is found, and the problem fixed, is the right thing to do. Personally I applaud the company for doing the right thing. What has to happen is that all of the manufacturing equipment has to be taken apart and thoroughly cleaned, as this bacterium is stubborn and can live for a very long time.
The CEO and President of the company, Paul Kruse, has promised to make sure all products are safe before they go back on sale. This is a very good thing. In an age when we often feel that greed steers the ship of commerce, this is a very good thing indeed. Blue Bell has put the welfare of their customers ahead of profits. This is more than commendable. This justifies the importance of Blue Bell as a symbol of the Great State of Texas.
It is, however, a devastating situation for many Texans. After reading the reports and observing the discussion in social media, I have come to appreciate just how emotionally attached some are to their Blue Bell ice cream, and what a deep and meaningful symbol it is to many Texans.
A lot of grocery stores don’t have shelves of different kinds of ice cream for consumption the way they do up here. They have two freezers for Blue Bell, and a tiny token space for all the other brands, combined. As one person said, “Blue Bell isn’t just an ice cream it is the only ice cream. If there’s no Blue Bell, there’s no ice cream, period. We might just as well cancel summer.”
To my friends who are suffering, I urge them to take heart. Doing the right thing is always the right thing. The ice cream will flow again, and all will be well.
It’s simply a matter of time.
Love,
Morgan

Wednesday's Words for April 29, 2015
Tuesday, April 28, 2015
Bride for a Champion - Medieval Historical Romance by Lindsay Townsend. New Excerpt
Here is a new excerpt from my medieval novella, Bride for a Champion. In it, Simon and Alice are
Still kneeling back on her heels, Alice punched the grass. “Exactly!”
Though her words and gesture were brave, he saw her tremble slightly. “Have you heard any word of your sister since Henrietta’s last letter?”
She nodded. “A man came from the king last month, with a scribe, to consider adding my name to a list of heiresses. At least, he said he was from the king,” she added doubtfully.
Simon felt a chill of suspicion. “Go on.”
“He mentioned my sister, said he had seen her at Christmas at the court of the old queen. I asked him about Edward.”
“You asked, rather than your father?”
She flushed and stared at a daisy to avoid looking at him. “Father would not speak of Henrietta. He said she was dead to him. I spoke to the herald alone.”
There was a tense silence between them, filled by the droning of a bumblebee. Staggered by what she had just admitted, Simon wondered what he would have done, had he been in her place. For Henry Martinswood to cast Henrietta aside was more than harsh, it was cruel.
After a moment, Alice sighed and went on. “The king’s man, if he was such, claimed he knew nothing of any Edward, but he half-smiled as he said it. I think he does know more, but he left the same day. A small, stocky man, with a smiling mouth and mean eyes. Sir Bohemond de Lyonesse.”
“That name I recognize, even from Constantinople!” Simon cracked his fists together, a sudden fizz of excitement coursing through his veins. “All Bohemonds are ambitious and he is no different, but soft as a copper spoon. King’s man or not, he will hang around the royal court still as such men always do. I will find him, persuade him to say more. I know de Lyonesse’s haunts of old, where he will have gone to ground.”
Her face began to drain of color again as she lifted her head to face him. “Do you think this Edward and Bohemond somehow acted together?”
“I have a name and a man to go after, which is all that matters.” Simon spoke heartily, although he suspected she might be right. Still, he did not want to alarm her any more, since she was already as pale as parchment. He changed the subject slightly.
“You say King John has a list of heiresses?”
“The king takes great notice of any wards or heiresses who might come into his care if or when their parents are dead.”
He looked at her still, wary face, guessed she disliked the King’s obsession, but dismissed it from his mind. No matter, since we are to be wed.
“Why not appeal to the king to find your sister?”
She gave an energetic shake of her head. “I think his terms would be too high. Besides—”
“You hope to avoid scandal and discover her first.”
Alice stared at the daisy again. “Of course.”
“And yet you see a man like Bohemond de Lyonesse alone, unattended, after all that has happened?”
He had been thinking of Greek maids, closely sequestered, that was the trouble, and he spoke again without thought. The instant the words were out he regretted them, but it was too late.
“No!” She was already on her feet, spitting her denial. “You gull me into a confidence, into speaking with you freely and then you scold! That is unfair!”
As Alice spoke she was moving, but so was he. When she stumbled at the very start of her headlong dash back up the garden, he caught her, clutching her tight. He was afraid for an instant that she would fall flat on her face in her haste to escape him.
She squirmed in his grip, as fast and furious as an angry falcon bobbing and bating on a hunter’s wrist, struggling with its jesses. “Release me, raptor!”
The insult burned him—he who had seen so many women raped and murdered at the fall of Constantinople and been unable to save them. “I am none such,” he began, through gritted teeth, breaking off as he felt her attempting to unwind his fingers off her waist.
Almost as if she sensed his attention she stopped at once and looked straight into his face, her eyes as bright as eastern jade. “If you were a true gentleman, you would let me go.”
“I am a mercenary.”
Without a flicker, she returned, “As a Christian, you should not treat me so rudely.”
What did she know of what one Christian might do to another? But he would not back down. If he was to marry this salamander then she must learn, and the lesson would begin now, whether he stank of horse or not.
He tightened his grip around her narrow waist, crossing his hands in the small of her back. As he inhaled her lavender scent and felt her lissome body mold against his, he was dimly aware of her standing up on her tip-toes. Before he realized what she was about, she had kissed him first.
He was so startled by the sudden tender sweetness of her mouth that he sighed, bringing a hand up now to smooth a tendril of her hair away from her sun-warmed cheek. She tasted of sugar cone and honey and, he fancied, cherries, although that might only be wishful thinking.
Her kiss went on, slow and sure, an instant of gentleness when he had known few such moments in his life, glowing in his mind like a rare flower or book. Her eyes were closed as she gave herself in her kiss and he closed his eyes, too, relishing the contact where their breaths mingled and their lips touched and touched and touched…
“Women can also kiss,” she murmured.
“I know.” He enjoyed the quiver her mouth made against his as they conversed in this unusual fashion. “Is this because you like me, or because you wish to be first?”
He felt rather than heard her laugh. “Too late for you to discover,” she teased. She started to step back, float off like a scrap of thistledown, but he was a fighter with a warrior’s swiftness and reactions and he gathered her back before she was gone. “I do not think so,” he answered, and he kissed her again.
* * * *
Alice fought herself. She strove to remember her sister, to escape from this heady world of sensation, where she felt higher than the clouds. She had anticipated Simon’s kiss and intercepted it, bested it, but now she was losing. He had trapped her when she had expected to escape. Time and the world had stopped for her while she hung in his arms.
Foolish! Her mind raged, but how could she have known? She had never kissed a man before, not as couples kiss.
His tanned nose bumped lightly against hers and she felt him smile. Simon had not kissed often before, she sensed that and was pleased, but she had no chance to consider why that should be so, because his kiss deepened.
His mouth and tongue eased her mouth apart, feathering and caressing the tender, sensitive insides of her lips. He smelled of horses and dust, from travel, and his own musk and warm leather—a scent she would now recognize forever as his. His big, sword-callused palms were flat across her back, hugging and holding, but not presuming, not fingering lower. He respects me, she thought, bringing her arms about his middle, her breath stopping as he lifted her right off her feet.
“Sir, a messenger for you! Sir?”
Simon growled something in Greek, his grip tightening on her a moment before he set her back lightly on the path. “More later, eh?” he murmured, touching her shoulder. Then he bowed, turned and ran back toward the steps and the tanned blond messenger, calling, “What news, Alexios?”

Angelic Forecast ~ #347
I charge upward. Offense is the best defense...right? At the same time I use my mental ability to explode the images inside Dhuroth's mind.
'Received,' he telepaths. 'Get out...'
I lose the rest of his mind communication. I'm dodging the swinging, swiping lightblades, given the frequencies are designed to separate my astral body from my physical body.
I maneuver at hyperspeed to leave them hacking at themselves. Once I succeed, I streak upward, still following the columns. Probably a bad idea... yet, something is drawing me... something I must know...
The black cube hovers, much larger than the proverbial bread box. The ancient geometric evil is one I instantly recognize. 'Don't shoot!' I mind-yell to my lion man.
'Don't shoot!!!' I continue mind-screaming at Dhuroth, as moments tick into a bleak future I don't want. And must change.
'Why?' I finally mind-hear. 'We are locked, able to destroy now.'
'Black cube,' I mind-shout. 'Solar system killer. It's spinning above me.'
Silence attacks me. I hear the rush of more apparitional warriors. I hear the massive whine of the battlestar's weapon's array. And I know they are about to unload their particle-tearer beams on my lion man and his team.
Goddess, what now? Pray tell me.
'Detected.' Dhuroth's super-serious voice echoes inside my head. 'We are breaking off attack.'
TO BE CONTINUED...

The Intersection of Time Points... Which Fork Will the Human Race Ultimately Choose?
For, destiny spins on the choice-points of humankind. Do we spin toward peace and prosperity for ALL?
Or do we tread the dark path of ever-increasing war and starvation -- the path those on the dark-side lay out, and make entertainment-enticing?
Think: *The Hunger Games*
On the spiritual front, The Interwoven Lattices of 'Coincidences' Becomes the Framework For Life In the Aquarian Age
Or synchronicity accelerate in our lives now, and is BEING-LIVING in the New-Earth zone. However, this will also work both ways. For, when the zone is interrupted, chaos can be experienced as greater than usual. Ride out the storm while looking for the rainbow zone.
On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' swing their magnificent lightblades with the force of a hundred thousand tornadoes, slicing through the shroud of conjured evil. For, the Viper elite magicians intend to continue hijacking the human soul, the human mind and spirit, for their sinister purposes.
However, as more of humankind becomes heart-centered, such onslaughts of black sorcery will no longer be effective. To enable a heart-centered community, remember to 'responsibly' keep LOVE alive.
On the personal front, this week is likely to be 'jumpy' ... or jumping from one thing-project to the next because of a sudden situation, and/or unexpected interruptions. Keeping yourself organized as best as possible will help. Just keep ploughing through where necessary, and your most important goals will be met.
Also, grab for the opportunities that will come your way this week, no matter how small. This means, both financial/business and love opportunities. For, what you most need individually is being served up the All-knowing Universe.
As well, the companionship of pets, of being around animals in general, becomes ever more important in this world. Take advantage, and enjoy giving and receiving love.

By Hannah Parry For Mailonline
Published: 24 April 2015 | Incredible footage has emerged of a mysterious pair of white lights seen hovering perilously close to to the Chilean volcano eruption.
Volcano Calbuco, which has laid dormant for more than 40 years, suddenly erupted on Wednesday causing a thick plume of ash to cloud the sky while thousands of people living in its shadow were forced to flee the 'apocalypse-like' event.
Hundreds filmed the eruption, near the southern port city of Puerto Montt, Chile, and its deadly ash cloud which caused all nearby flights to be grounded for safety.
But one amateur cameraman was surprised to see what appeared to be white lights close to the enormous plume of ash and smoke rising from the mouth of the volcano.
...The footage shows the unexplained pair of lights floating dangerous close to erupting volcano before disappearing.
Tens of thousands of people have speculated on what the UFO could be, suggesting everything from police or emergence services helicopters, to a kind of optical illusion or even an alien craft.

Wednesday's Words for April 22, 2015
What is your legacy?
Have you ever wondered what memories and impressions in others you’re creating with each day lived, each action taken—or not taken? Have you ever thought about what your impact is on family and friends, and how you’ll be remembered? What kind of person are you? What matters to you the most? Do you live your life to the fullest, or have you always pulled your punches, and are now riddled with regrets?
Life is so short. We none of us know how long we’ll be here. We don’t know why some people are given more than a hundred years here on this planet, while others’ lives can be measured in days or weeks or only a couple of decades. We don’t know why, for example, in the midst of a violent attack, a grandmother survives, while, just inches away from her, a child dies.
All we have is what we have, and we never have more than one day at a time. We hope for more, and because it is in our nature, we plan for more. But we don’t ever have more. We only ever have today. In fact, we only ever have this moment.
Some people are spiritual beings, open to the possibilities of different faiths and beliefs. Some people only believe what they can see with their eyes and touch with their hands. Each of us might hold that our beliefs are the only right ones. Or we might accept that some matters are between the individual and the God they worship. With so much diversity, and so many differences, where you find your comfort and your strength, is as individual as you are. One thing, however, we all can agree upon, is that what we do and who we are can have an impact on others. We all have the ability to do ill, or do good. That’s our choice.
Because that is true, then I believe that leaving a legacy of caring is an enviable thing. Being a person who loves others, helps others, and thinks of others’ well-being before their own is to give blessings and receive them back a hundred fold.
You cannot purchase the sense of satisfaction you get from having touched someone in a positive way in any store for any amount of money. There is no substitute for the internal benefits you get for being a person who seeks to uplift others, rather than to tear them down.
When you seek to leave a legacy of love, you’re doing the very best thing in the world that you could possibly do. You are giving increase to others and gifting them with a part of yourself.
It’s never too late to make a difference in the life of one person. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, or do anything heroic. You don’t even need to spend a lot of time. You really just need to take your eyes off yourself and put them on someone else for a little bit. Even a smile, given to someone who looks alone, or sad, or just thoughtful is something you can do to make a difference in that one person’s life.
I know that life is hard, and full of challenges that must be met, and obstacles that must be overcome. Trials hit us all, as does pain both physical and emotional, and the tragedy of loss. These things are inevitable. And it is because life can be hard and harsh that even small gestures and random acts of kindness matter so much. People matter. Every life is worthwhile, and every life counts.
So, what is your legacy?
When I’m gone, and people think of me, I hope they smile and say, now there was a good friend.
Love,
Morgan

A TOUCH OF SIN - Sin Hospital 2 by Tara Rose
I'm so pleased to announce a new release!! A TOUCH OF SIN is the second book in my Sin Hospital series!!
You can read more about Sin Hospital on my WEBSITE, but for now, here is a brief overview...
This ain't your mama's soap opera, y'all!! Here in Sin Hospital, the doctors and nurses are as small town as you can get, but in private they burn up the bed sheets and create scandals the likes of which most folks have never seen. Come along for a lusty, fun-filled romp through warm, sultry Sin, Tennessee.
A TOUCH OF SIN
SIN HOSPITAL 2
[Siren Ménage Everlasting: Erotic Consensual BDSM Ménage a Quatre Romance, M/F/M/M, HEA]
ICU nurse Savannah Patterson has no problem dating three men at the same time. She begins a whirlwind romance with her high school boyfriend Jimmie James, the preacher’s son, as well as respiratory therapist Noah Kirkland. When Dr. Ethan Drake comes into the mix, he brings the added excitement of BDSM play to their dynamic.
Noah and Jimmie both have had a thing for Savannah since grade school, but Savannah never dated anyone for more than a few weeks. Once Ethan comes into the picture, they have no problems sharing her with him. Ethan is only too happy to share her, as he’s had secret fantasies of doing just that for years.
Jimmie’s relationship with his father has never been a solid one. When Jimmie has a breakthrough and remembers the details surrounding his mother’s death seventeen years ago, he realizes his own father was involved. The four are now in more danger than they bargained for.
**This is the second book in the Sin Hospital series**
Angelic Forecast ~ #346
From the jump-point that is Dhuroth's view of the battlestar, I mentally leap inside the immense sphere. He has told me what to search for, and how. The omega plasma tube has been successfully hidden from the his fighter's sensors, and I must find it rapidly, or the gains that have been made could be lost.
Inside the smoldering ruins near the battlestar's core, I mentally whirl around scanning for telltale... there! The mammoth columns that look like frosted glass rise out of sight. I follow them upward.
No...really?! Three apparitional warriors with lightblades surround the three columns blocking my way.
Sheesh! I don't even have a lightblade. What now? ...
I charge upward. Offense is the best defense...right? At the same time I use my mental ability to explode the images inside Dhuroth's mind.
'Received,' he telepaths. 'Get out...'
I lose the rest of his mind communication. I'm dodging the swinging, swiping lightblades, given the frequencies are designed to separate my astral body from my physical body.
I maneuver at hyperspeed to leave them hacking at themselves. Once I succeed, I streak upward, still following the columns. Probably a bad idea... yet, something is drawing me... something I must know...
The black cube hovers, much larger than the proverbial bread box. The ancient geometric evil is one I instantly recognize. 'Don't shoot!' I mind-yell to my lion man.

ANGELIC FORECAST ~
Keep Love Alive... Freedom Rings Within Every Human Heart... And the Implosion-Explosion of Society At Hyperdrive ... The Planet Earth Report
On the AWAKENING front, SUPERCHARGED... This Week AWARENESS Around Treachery Is SuperCharged By the Divine
At this cosmic spinpoint, humanity 'en masse' wakes up to the global and regional treachery taking place at every level of society. Now, *those* really running the show 'behind the world scenes' take giant sinister steps to form what has euphemistically called the *unites state of Europe*. This is the Machiavellian solution being offered to avoid the economic collapse of Greece.
Beware. Take Care. The Evil Ones are on the march.
On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' cyclone-spin with their magickal lightblades, cutting away the newly conjured black shroud put in place by the Viper elite's sorcerers. Out of this, watch for the horrific scandals that will now surface, and be exposed by whistleblowers, alternative news sites, and citizen journalists.
It's a new day on planet Earth.
On the personal front, this week watch for the unexpected, the trickster energy that brings harm instead of enlightenment. The more aware you are, the faster on your feet you will be in stemming the tide against you.
On the good side, there will likely be a wonderful opportunity to love and be loved -- to expand your ability to receive and give heartfelt love. This encompasses all forms of love -- child to parent, romantic relationships, friend relationships, and relationships with pets.
Also, keep pushing on your most important projects. Likely, good progress will be made, or you will complete the project, and move to the next phase.
On the paranormal front, As reported, UFOs Abound In the Skies... the Strangely Shaped, All the Weird and Wonderful Sightings, and the Beautiful Mesmerizing Lights... Who and What Is Out There?
On the near horizon, while the grassroots DISCLOSURE of *we are not alone* is obvious to many now, there will likely be more formal releases of information from Russia, and other nations.
As well, the secret space programs and the 'breakaway civilizations' are being drip-drip-drip revealed. However, RENEGADES who have been, or are part of these hidden programs, will now be waterfall-pouring out the truth as they know it. Just look for it.
On the truth front, Hidden TRUTH Is Way Stranger Than Fiction

This includes earthquakes, volcanic activity, droughts, flooding, off-the-charts weather, and temperature extremes."

'My one woman,' Dhuroth telepaths to me.
'I am here. How goes the battle?'
'Knowing you are safe is my utmost concern, my Sh’raka. We are turning the tide, as you would say. One battleship is incapacitated. Another has been slowed, and the function half destroyed.'
'How can I help?' I jump in knowing my lion man has a plan in mind.
'Use your ability, to mind-peer inside the half-destroyed battlestar. We need an exact point of attack. Total victory is in reach if we eliminate...'
'Yes,' I interrupt mentally. For, I am already sending my mind-force to Dhuroth so that I can peer through his eyes, and target the death star.
From the jump-point that is Dhuroth's view of the battlestar, I mentally leap inside the immense sphere. He has told me what to search for, and how.

The Coming Age... Implosion-Explosion, the World on the Brink of Change... Here It Comes, the Catastrophic, the Supernatural Forces, and the Incredibly Splendid Rise of Humanity
Stay Awake. And, as always, stay tuned.
On the AWAKENING front, More of the People Stand and Band Together, Worldwide
For, at superspeed the people AWAKEN to self-governance, their ability to govern themselves and create local communities beneficial to ALL. More and more, the people know the spiritual tool needed for community, is simply learning how to LOVE one another -- and how to love yourself at an ever deeper level. For, the open heart is here.
On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' use their mighty whirling lightblades to cut the dark-side ties that bind humanity to its servile past. Thus, the blinders are lifted from many more, and they begin to realize their true power potential.
On the magickal past revealing itself front, ARTICLE: "Hidden Marginalia Emerges on Ancient Pages ~ Tuesday, April 7, 2015
The Black Book of Carmarthen, the oldest surviving medieval manuscript written in Welsh, has proven to be even more interesting than anyone even knew. Two scholars from the University of Cambridge – doctoral student Myriah Williams and Paul Russell, a professor in the department of Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Norse languages – examined its pages under UV light and found fascinating marginalia not visible to the naked eye. Coming into view for the first time are ghostly faces along with reflective text that were added during the 13-15th centuries...
...Among the poems are two attributed to the legendary Merlin. And the first poem is said to be a conversation between Merlin and Taliesin, the renowned 6th Century Welsh." ~unknowncountry.com/news/hidden-marginalia-emerges-ancient-pages~
On the personal front, this week is likely to be fraught by mis-timing and some misdirection. Simply take a moment to think your way through, then backup and head toward your goals and/or your destinations.
Also, there could be some misdirection and/or mis-communication in matters of love and the heart. This is best resolved by true humility and a sincere apology, if warranted. However, if the fault is not on your end, an understanding of the other person and their motives, their fears, will help you both.
Further, travel of some type could be in the cards this week, and on into the summer months. While this is typical travel time, unique adventurous opportunities are likely to abound. This could involve prosperous opportunities, as well.
On the paranormal front, The High Strangeness Adventuring Goes Into Hyperdrive At This Spinpoint In Time

"Circus of Strangeness ~ Thursday, April 9, 2015
Visitors. Ghosts. Rainbow People. Dinosaurs. Just how strange can strange get? If this week's episode were a tabloid headline few would believe it. But it's not. It's life. These things are real. And this week's guest stepped forward because he heard host Jeremy Vaeni on another program talking about his first high strangeness experience at the age of three: watching a parade go by that did not exist. He, too, experienced this and thought he was alone. Now, he's sharing his highly unusual experiences so that those of us experiencing the same don't have to feel alone anymore."

Veteran pilot Andrew Danziger experienced something unexplained during a flight from Kansas City in 1989. Danziger and his captain Bruce had been on a flight to Waterloo, Iowa when they became aware of a partially obscured white disc-shaped object a short distance away from their plane.
The object seemed to stay with them for over 30 minutes and despite confirming with air traffic control that the sky was clear the disc continued to appear obscured as if hidden by fog.
Neither pilot was able to determine what it could be.
As they approached within 40 miles of their destination however the disc seemed to suddenly disappear and a red glowing ball-shaped object appeared in its place.
"It was big and bright and just sat there above the clouds," Danziger wrote. "It wasn’t intense enough to illuminate us with a red glow but it was still plenty bright. We sat there in stunned silence."

Loud booming noises that do not spread like sonic booms were heard on both US coasts and in Arkansas last week, adding to the proliferation of these events nationwide and worldwide. Just last week, booms disturbed residents in Berkeley, California, Lawrence County, Arkansas and Bordentown City, New Jersey, Victoria, Texas, Pennsylvania, Hawaii and North Carolina, to name a few. Just since January, there have been hundreds of cases reported in the United States alone. In general, they do not roll like sonic booms, but are single, loud explosions or rumbles that are confined to a defined area."
~unknowncountry.com/news/booms-both-us-coasts~
On the *Planet X, arriving or not* front, BLURB: Wednesday - April 8, 2015 ~ ...Bob Fletcher ~bobfletcherinvestigations.com~ a retired investigative researcher who conducted a probe into the CIA's involvement in US drug trade, spoke about the return of Planet X (Nibiru), how money has been secretly siphoned out of budgets to prepare for it, and the coming global cataclysm. According to his information, Planet X was first discovered in 1983 by infrared telescopes and appeared to be on an inbound trajectory. Since then, the United States has built numerous underground facilities (such as at Cheyenne Mountain), which will be offered as a survival option to only an elite few, he stated. China has reportedly also completed the construction of underground facilities.
Operation Jade Helm 15, a military-law enforcement exercise coming later this year, is a dry run for "martial law," and is being conducted as a test for how to deal with the public when they learn about Nibiru's impending arrival, Fletcher contended.
The rogue planet will first be visible as a new star-- it's been calculated to be five times the size of Earth, and has several attached moons-- and will arrive possibly in December 2015, with its closest approach during March-April of 2016, he suggested, adding that the timing could be one year later. Solar flares connected with Nibiru's passage could wipe out all electronic devices, and a multitude of large meteorites hitting the oceans will cause immeasurable tsunamis, he added. ~coasttocoastam.com/show/2015/04/08~

Wednesday's Words for April 8, 2015
Whether you’ve just celebrated Easter or are currently celebrating Passover, I hope the holiday was and is all you hoped it would be. Customs vary widely, but all have some common elements. The largest of these is the inclusion of family and friends.
Whether we approach these special times traditionally, as our forbearers did, or we add our own modern twists, it’s the sharing with family and friends that makes these occasions memorable. And holidays observed without family close by are often spent recalling those memories made during earlier times.
My granddaughter, who is 14, asked me about Easter when I was a kid, and what it would have been like for her dad, our late son. From my childhood there are some traditions that stand out in my memory more than others. There were the candy baskets, of course, and the hunt for Easter eggs. In my house, both when I was a child and later, as a parent of young children, these were actual eggs—hard boiled by us the night before, and colored, and then “hidden” by the Easter bunny over night.
More than once as a young mom I had to spend time in the days following Easter Sunday hunting for that one egg that always seemed to defy being found. I wasn’t anal enough in those days to make a list of the hiding places.
The other thing I recall as a child was the whole, “get dressed up and go to Church” ritual that “Easter Parade” I used to hate. Today, going to Church isn’t the fancy dress occasion it used to be. I always figured too much emphasis was placed on the outside, instead of the inside where it belonged. I was raised Anglican (Episcopalian) and I’m old enough to recall that women and girls didn’t go into the church without having their heads covered. I never really knew why that was. But Easter Sunday was an even fussier occasion than normal, and the hats fussier still.
I recall a light pink dress, and a darker pink coat that was way too thin to be warm, and a hat that I really didn’t like. I would have been 5 or 6 at the time. Oh, and the white, for-Church-only shoes with the buckle in the wrong place and that were very uncomfortable. How could I forget them, or the socks with the itchy lace around the top? “Don’t scratch!” was an admonition that regularly interrupted the Easter liturgy when I was a kid.
Even being little, I understood the spiritual significance of Easter. That has never changed, but it’s the social rituals, shared with my family, that I look back on and recall so easily, rituals no longer observed. Right down to the colored eggs brought into the car with a salt shaker, for a treat to be enjoyed on the way home from services. In those days it was practically the only time we ate in the car.
This year, we awoke to a lovely gift from Mother Nature on Easter Sunday—about an inch and a half of snow, where none had been the night before. It was actually the only kind of snow I like, because as I looked out my front door, I saw white on the grass and on the vehicles, but not on the road.
My beloved, when he got up, looked out the window and then asked, “What month is it again?” Of course, this is Canada and we can both recall snowfalls as late as early May. I don’t want to think about that particularly, because I have green shoots breaking ground in my flower beds.
Soon I’ll have tulips and daffodils and narcissi, sweet spring blooms to fill the air with their fragrance. I’m on tenterhooks waiting to see if my lilies-of-the-valley, my lilacs, and my peonies survived. I’ve been hoping for some sign of life in my one and only rose bush, planted last year.
I know it’s a bit early for that in this area, yet.
March came and went nearly without consequence, not making much of an impression at all. The first week of April has been an unpredictable mix of cold and mild, and if it wasn’t for the fact that Easter is behind us, it would be tough to say, for certain, that spring had indeed arrived.
Not unpredictable is the reality that time marches on, regardless of our fussing about or the weather, in a cycle that in many ways resembles a rodent’s wheel.
And spinning ever faster with each progressive year.
Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #344
Once inside, Ularof releases me, and rushes off. Everyone is either at their stations or huddled together watching display screens of the raging battle outside. I move toward the nearest screen while paying attention to my mind connection with Dhuroth. Silence.
Yet I would feel it, know it, if my lion man had come to harm. Energy beams flash and crisscross madly as the fighter-crafts battle. Part of me aches to launch in my jet and take on the enemy. Give them blasting hell.
However, Dhuroth needs me here as his 'eyes on the cosmic skies'. Or he did when I was at my monitor watching his six. Dammit!
'My one woman,' Dhuroth telepaths to me.
'I am here. How goes the battle?'
'Knowing you are safe is my utmost concern, my Sh’raka. We are turning the tide, as you would say. One battleship is incapacitated. Another has been slowed, and the function half destroyed.'
'How can I help?' I jump in knowing my lion man has a plan in mind.
'Use your ability, to mind-peer inside the half-destroyed battlestar. We need an exact point of attack. Total victory is in reach if we eliminate...'
'Yes,' I interrupt mentally. For, I am already sending my mind-force to Dhuroth so that I can peer through his eyes, and target the death star.
TO BE CONTINUED...
~~~~~~
ANGELIC FORECAST ~
World Shattering Changes Ahead... the GOOD, the Bad, the Ugly, and the Very Beautiful
Stay Tuned. Stay Alert. Good people ALL, time to stand and band together.
On the AWAKENING front, BE NEWLY RISEN IN SPIRIT
During this time of Easter, AWAKEN to the divine-crystalline vibrations inundating Earth, and all of humankind at this crucial timepoint. For now, the barrage of societal lies, the leviathan-deceptions fall away.
Further, the sustenance of Spirit will be needed to balance and overcome in these upcoming times.
On the truth front, Political Dynastic Families... Burying the Multitude of Sins
At this cosmic spinpoint, here and worldwide, desperate *berserker-mad* methods will be used to coverup the criminality of top politico leaders, and their mafia-like families. Watch this frantic, blood-brutal show happen before your very eyes via the presstitute media.
However, this coverup will ultimately fail. Enough of 'the people' are willing to know THE TRUTH, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. For now, layers of 'convicting' evidence surfaces, and cannot be squashed into oblivion, or buried in the thick dust of history.
This, while the zombified, brain-fried remain immune to truthtelling, and those with any glimmer of spiritual conscience continue to AWAKEN.
On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' ... with mighty swipes of their lightblades, the Mages reveal truth after 'lost' ancient truth. This, while worldwide weirdness escalates, and while high-strangeness events take place all across the planet -- some of which will be reported by the lamestream mainstream.
For now, the 'dimensional interweaving' is occurring at hyper-speed. Also, many of us are remembering the age of magick, when Merlin and his kind ruled. At this point in universal time, several Earth ages are combining to set the stage for the emergence of humankind's powerful and magickal nature.
To tap in, stay AWARE of your perceptions, and notice how they are changing and becoming more distinct.
On the personal front, this week is likely to feel somewhat convoluted. This is because there are impacting-compacting energies as never before on planet Earth. That is, you may feel tugged in a thousand different directions at once... or, at least, several directions. Or, it could simply be feeling pulled in two significant directions at once.
Regardless, this is an opportunity to *know thy self* at a high level. Also, one wise strategy: center yourself, go deep within, and 'know-feel' your way forward.
This could be difficult for a lot of us, given the dark-side, opposing forces at work. However, if you keep a quiet, inner focus on your individual situation, and pay attention to your deepest feelings, this will lead you in the right direction.
As well, LOVE is likely to enter your life in a significant way within the next three weeks. This could be any current relationship, or a new relationship, or a reunion situation. Further, this includes animals, both pets and wild.
On the chocolate front, The Food of the Goddess and Gods
HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Hot Chocolate Shown to Boost Memory, Brain Health
A few cups of hot cocoa each day could improve your memory and fight mental decline in the elderly, researchers from Harvard point out."
On the paranormal front, APRIL FOOL'S DAY ... Here Be Dragons ... The Rise and Return of the Winged Scaly Ones
HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "April Fools? Why Is The International Weekly Science Journal ‘Nature’ Warning That Earth Faces THE IMMINENT AWAKENING & RETURN Of DRAGONS: THIS WAS A LEADING SCIENCE MAG THAT POSTED THIS! Emerging evidence indicates that dragons can no longer be dismissed as creatures of legend and fantasy, and that anthropogenic effects on the world’s climate may inadvertently be paving the way for the resurgence of these beasts. Long considered to be the stuff of legend, dragons cross cultures and continents. Until recently, however, scant attention had been paid to the fact that the commonality in cultural representations of such creatures indicates something more sinister. From depictions in Ancient Greek literature and Slavic myth, to the dragons of the East or allusions in Zoroastrian scripture, the descriptions resonate. What if these legends were rooted in truth?" ~skywatchtv.com/2015/04/05/april-fools-why-is-the-international-weekly-science-journal-nature-warning-that-earth-faces-the-imminent-awakening-return-of-dragons~ & ~nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/520042a.html~
On the UFO ET front, BLURB: "UFO Repeaters ...ufologist and paranormal pioneer Timothy Green Beckley ~uforeview.tripod.com/index.html~ talked about 'UFO Repeaters,' people who have the unique ability to "make friends" with UFO occupants and bring them in for close repeated UFO photos. Most of these encounters, Beckley believes, represent contact with paranormal or supernatural aspects rather than actual extraterrestrials. Early contactee Howard Menger was a 'repeater' who described and photographed ships landing on his parents land in rural New Jersey, ensuing telepathic communications with "regal-looking" beings, and trips to the far side of the moon.

Contactee, artist, and channeler Marc Brinkerhoff ~intergalacticmission.com~ (view related images ~coasttocoastam.com/pages/brinkerhoff-s-alien-et-images~) joined the conversation for a segment. His benevolent encounters began as a young child in 1958, and have continued throughout his life. In a field in upstate New York, a human-like 8 ft. tall being interacted with him, transforming his energy into a more etheric-form, whereupon they entered a spacecraft and he was given a cleansing energy that appeared as a lavender mist. Brinkerhoff said he is able to make contact with the beings at will, and once at a party they materailized as glowing white spheres. ~coasttocoastam.com/show/2015/03/30~
